Forecasts

Blow Your Horn (10/3), Qaasid (7/2), Vega Sicilia (9/2), Haku (9/2), Nolton Cross (6/1), Brasca (14/1), Thunder Ahead (14/1), Kihavah (25/1), Punxsutawney Phil (50/1)

BLOW YOUR HORN hasn't been with this yard long and is threatening to come good soon judged on his third at Lingfield last week. Haku is the obvious threat as he bids for the 4-timer, with other last-time-out winners Vega Sicilia and Qaasid also respected.
